What is Cloud computing? <ul><li>There are a lot of different definitions of cloud computing. Let’s use some easy ones. </li></ul><ul><li>Cloud computing is when you work and save files online. </li></ul><ul><li>You can use the files and software from any computer connected to the internet. </li></ul>

8.
What’s the point? <ul><li>As computers get smaller and faster, why should be bother with working and putting our documents online? </li></ul><ul><li>Source: http://trysomethingnewpimacounty.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/cloud-computing/ </li></ul><ul><li>There are five major advantages to working online: </li></ul><ul><li>Shareable </li></ul><ul><li>Efficient </li></ul><ul><li>Portable </li></ul><ul><li>Flexible </li></ul><ul><li>Automatic </li></ul>

9.
Show me an example <ul><li>The internet is full of examples of cloud computing. Here are just a couple: </li></ul><ul><li>Facebook - you update, change, and share personal information online. Almost nothing is stored on your computer, and you can use it from any computer. </li></ul><ul><li>Dropbox - online storage that you can open from any computer. Save your files online so you use them anywhere. </li></ul><ul><li>Flickr - photo website where you can post your pictures for others to see and comment on. </li></ul>

Sounds good - what’s the downside? <ul><li>Of course, with all of the advantages of cloud computing, there must be some disadvantages. </li></ul><ul><li>What makes cloud computing so great is also what makes it a problem - it’s online . That means “ no internet, no workie ”. </li></ul><ul><li>Security is another problem. Because your files are online, it is possible that someone other than you can use them. </li></ul><ul><li>Both of these issues are important, but as we become more and more connected to the internet, it’s easier to get online anywhere. Also, the companies that run cloud computing applications have to work very hard to make sure that their customers are happy - that means that the have to keep your files safe, or you won’t use them. They have a very strong reason to keep your files safe. </li></ul>

11.
